Salt Lake City

The city’s most unique feature is its peace and quiet around winter time, making it a perfect destination for anyone who wants a serene holiday experience.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Unlike Santa Fe, Las Vegas is a wild city; head over there if you want an untamed holiday experience. In Las Vegas, you can barely tell whether it’s day or night because the city is always so lively. The cool desert temperature is a nice change if you come from an extremely cold region but it’s the crazy New Year’s Eve celebrations that you should look forward to.
Nashville, Tennessee

However, Nashville also offers visitors a country-Christmas experience and hospitality that you won’t find anywhere else.
